Ken is an amazing guide - very knowledgable and enthusiastic! The food selection was fantastic, although quite experimental for less experienced foodies. Definitely worth a try though!

We love a secret food tour and once again this didn’t disappoint. A great mix of local food and Kent’s knowledge of Singapores history was a real bonus.
Thank you for sharing your review with us! It’s rewarding to know your time with us was well spent. We look forward to seeing you again with Secret Food Tours.
Fantastic food tour with Kent he did an amazing job of sharing the Singaporean culture and heritage such that we understood some of the history behind what we were eating and insights into the country. A delicious combination of treats we would never have been able to find on our own. Thanks very much for a great morning and also for your recommendations (especially assistance with trying durian!).
We're so glad you took the time to share your experience. Knowing that you enjoyed it from start to finish is exactly what we hope for. We hope to see you again with Secret Food Tours!
Our tour person Ronald was knowledgeable, organized and fun. He spent 3 1/2 hours visiting cultural sites and eating wonderful foods. I recommend this tour for the adventure.
We're thankful for your kind comments. Knowing that our work made a difference in your day is truly rewarding. We hope you'll join Secret Food Tours again in the future!
Great tour, our guide Kent didn’t just give facts about the area he provided the culture, history and feel for the place. Heaps of food, fantastic guide and casual walk.
Thanks for letting us know about your experience. We're pleased that you enjoyed exploring the city one stop at a time with us. We look forward to seeing you again with Secret Food Tours!
We had an amazing experience with Secret Food Tours Singapore, especially thanks to our wonderful guide, Kent! We’ve actually been living in Singapore for the past 4 months, but still learned so much about the country’s history, culture, and food scene through this tour. Kent was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging, and made every stop feel meaningful and fun. We loved trying so many local foods, from hawker favorites to hidden gems, and especially enjoyed having our very first cup of kopi and kaya toast! Even our 17 month old toddler tried and loved everything, which made the experience even more memorable for our family. We highly recommend this tour for both tourists and new transplants alike.
Feedback like this gives our team every reason to keep doing what we do. We’re happy to know the day brought something extra to your time in the city and left such a positive takeaway. Thank you for choosing Secret Food Tours!
Took the food tour with Kent. He was a great tour guide, super knowledgeable, and charismatic. It was raining quite heavily when we started the tour so he was able to modify the normal walking route to keep us under cover for most of the time. The food was excellent quality. Great selections and everything was a new local food I hadn't tried yet. I liked all of them except for one which I tried a bite but didn't care for.
Thanks so much for writing this review! Hearing that your time with us became such a positive part of your trip means more than you know. Secret Food Tours would gladly host you again.
This tour should be a must at the beginning of your trip to Singapore if this is your first visit. You gain valuable history and get a feel for the authentic cuisine at an affordable price. Jeanette our guide was amazing.
We’re really glad you left this review! It’s great to know the experience gave you something you could genuinely enjoy. Secret Food Tours would love to have you back.
Kent was a fantastic guide, full of knowledge and provided us with a lot of great food- you definitely won’t leave feeling hungry! We also appreciated his further recommendations on what we should do with the rest of our time in Singapore!
Thanks for taking a moment to write this! A tour should feel like part of the day, not something separate from it, and it’s great that it came across that way. We’d welcome you back on another Secret Food Tours anytime.
